Is Christmas really Christmas without the classic films that seem to have been with us forever? There are few better feelings over the festive period than cosying up with snacks in front of our favourite flicks.<\/p>\n
For the characters involved, though, it\u2019s stressful, humiliating and often painful. Without further ado, we take a look at some of the claims these fictional folks could have made had they wised up on their insurance.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>A true festive favourite, Kevin\u2019s actions in protecting his home from hopeless criminals, Harry and Marv, are more than a little excessive. In fact, lawyers worked out exactly how much Harry and Marv would be able to claim for. At least \u00a37,500 could be claimed for the first-degree burns they suffered from Kevin\u2019s blowtorch. When they were electrocuted, they would be able to claim up to \u00a360,000. Of course, it\u2019s not nearly as much as the money they might have stolen had his family not forgotten about Kevin, but anything is better than nothing, right?<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Nobody likes a public menace and least of all the humble town of Whoville in Dr Seuss\u2019s classic tale. When The Grinch steals all the presents from Whoville, they are disheartened only for a moment before realising Christmas is more than mere presents. Since we don\u2019t all think this way, all residents of Whoville could have claimed on their Home Insurance policy, providing they had enough cover in place. Luckily for them, The Grinch had a change of heart and their presents were returned. If only every thief worked this way.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Cult classic Die Hard proves the importance valid insurance can have. When the terrorists take over the building and take people as hostages, the physical damage to the building and its contents is not of a major concern. Yet, it certainly would have been in the aftermath. With Terrorism Insurance, these losses could have been covered allowing the proper repair of the building at no cost to the Japanese company that owns it.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>When Buddy goes to find his dad, he makes his work life extremely challenging. His dad, Walter Hobbs, works at a children\u2019s book publishers and evidently has an important role. Buddy\u2019s behaviour forces Walter to bring his troubles to work and, consequently, it might well be argued Walter\u2019s capabilities at work suffer. If he had taken out a Directors & Officers (D&O) policy, things might have been much smoother.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Where do we start? With scenarios only Clark Griswold could get himself into, Clark causes more damage than a bull in a china shop. Not only does he suffer personal accident, damage to his home, his garden, his belongings and\u2014in National Lampoon\u2019s Vacation\u2014his dog, but he splashes equal chaos on his neighbours. Despite raising a few eyebrows in our claims department, that chaos would have been controlled with a solid home insurance policy.<\/p>\n
